Algerians in France are people of Algerian descent living in France. People of Algerian origin account for a large sector of the total population in France. Some immigrated during colonial rule in Algeria starting in the 1920s, and large numbers chose to emigrate to France from the 1960s onwards due to political turmoil in Algeria.

Turks

There are several thousand Algerian Turks living in France, having emigrated or decended from parents who came to the country from Algeria rather than Turkey.[10] Some Algerians with Turkish origins have contributed to the arts, sports and politics in France. For example, Nafissa Sid-Cara, who was the first female minister to serve in the French Fifth Republic as well as the first ever Muslim woman to serve as a minister in a French government,[11] was born into a family of Turkish origin which had been established in Algeria;[12] her brother Chérif Sid Cara was also a notable politician and doctor.[12] Other notable French politicians of Algerian-Turkish origin include Mourad Kaouah[13] who served as the deputy of Algiers from 1958 to 1962 - being the only French Muslim deputy at the time.[14] Notable writers include Moroccan-born Leïla Chellabi whose father was an Algerian Turk who obtained French citizenship;[15] Mustapha Haciane was born in Algeria into a Turkish family and currently resides in Paris;[16] and Leïla Sebbar is paternally of Turkish origin through her grandmother.[17] There are also several notable sportsman of Algerian-Turkish origin, including the former pole vaulter and Olympian Patrick Abada[18] as well as footballers Benjamin Stambouli and Mustapha Stambouli. Numerous sources claim that the actress Isabelle Adjani is paternally of Algerian-Turkish origin.[19][20][21][22][23]
